    I hate key fobs, I have two cars both with massive fobs. I can’t keep both on my keyring if I’m planning to put my keys in my pants pocket. I also hate these stupid things are $200-300 to replace - even more at a dealer.

    They don’t even make the car more secure or harder to steal. Get rid of them.

        That will get me in the door, but I need a fob to start the cars.

          I’d expect modern cars to use proximity detection which means the fob only needs to be with you.

          Like my Peguot has a fairly large fob, but it’s just in the pocket of my jacket. Never leaves it. I guess it’s a problem if you don’t have a semi permanent thing like a jacket you use every day though.
